.....Ive just removed my after market Rocky Mountain Grill https://parabolicsprings.com/products.html. Thought it looked better with the old plastic one back on :) Rich

great link Steve, thanks

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Thanks Steve 👍🏻

Hello knowledgeable folk. Can I remove my rear floor (SWB) and replace the supports (and top hats) with the tub on? Noticed that a few have holes in……. Thanks Rich

Thank you all, Great advice as always - scotch bright out and store away then 👍🏻

So I managed to find a decent 2 1/2 petrol 3MB cylinder head at Malvern this weekend. It’s cleaned up really well and not bad for £20. The number on my head is ERC 5899 but the other is 568750. Both look the exact same and the spare seems to have less wear on the valves etc. Also, should I...

I had this, found it was one of the springs on the rear which was pulling the cylinder back in. Check springs :) Mine was 3 & 8 on the pic above. rather than go to the stud on the back plate the spring went shoe to shoe HTH

Series 3 - No charging light - Me old thread

Ive just had this me self......it was the rectifier on the alternator. The build did light up though when i put an earth on it. I suddenly had no ignition bulb light and all charging stopped. New alternator cured it. Rich

Steve you were right :). Once i got my fat ass in the drivers seat both sides seemed to level out (+/- 1/2 an inch). Mystery solved, thank you all. Rich

Not exactly sticking out sideways but not inline with the front wings. One FWH is inline with the wheel arch the other side is about an inch short. So getting some weight on the drivers seat may even the measurement out (as the springs compress etc). Rich

Thanks Steve, Very useful mate. Once it stops raining I'll pop outside and have a look at the springs / measure with me in the seat. I think this will be the problem as everything else lines up. Might make me get some parabolics :). Rich

yes Steve, its just the measurements from the FWH up to the wheel arch. One FWH is level, the other is about an inch under. Drives fine etc etc

Thanks Turboman - ill leave it :)

Random one - I've noticed my front axle is level on one side with the front wheel arch (FWH line up with the front wing) but the other side is about one inch shorter. I used a straight bar and measured both sides. The axle brackets, suspension, and wheels (all the same) are all in line and the...

Take starter motor off yerself and strip it down. I replaced the bushes and gave it a good dig out (brush dust/carbon). It’s amazing now 👍🏻 Easy job

last thing you want after all that work :mad:. I'm going to do it tomorrow as I've noticed the exhaust manifold bolts needed tightening up.

Thank you, Tomorrows job then :) Rich

Hi all - all is going well at the moment - 100 miles in and running well. Quick question - do I need to re-torque the head down after a period of mileage? Im thinking 500 miles then check tappets and head bolts. Thank you all 👍🏻 Rich
